tar 1.34 (and possibly earlier versions) is unable to extract tarballs
containing read-only files with xattrs. This was fixed upstream, but
it's unlikely at this point that the fix will be backported to RHEL9
related distros (CentOS Stream 9, AlmaLinux 9, Rocky Linux 9). The issue
affects these distros specifically because they have selinux enabled by
default and this uses xattrs.

The specific failure we've seen is with the /usr/lib/udev/hwdb.bin file
installed by the systemd recipe - this file is chmod 0444. This leads to
the following error, typically during do_image_wic (shortened and split
to make it readable):

    subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command
    'tar --xattrs --xattrs-include='*' -cf - -S -C .../tmp/work/qemux86_64-poky-linux/core-image-minimal/1.0/rootfs -p . |
    tar --xattrs --xattrs-include='*' -xf - -C .../tmp/work/qemux86_64-poky-linux/core-image-minimal/1.0/tmp-wic/rootfs2'
    returned non-zero exit status 2.

To work around this, we will need to use the buildtools tarball on
affected systems.

Fixes [YOCTO #16143].
